They are going to do that to anyone on our side, even Romney, who they seem to favor at this point. They did it to McCain. They were all for McCain until it came to the general election and then they savaged him. They're going to clobber Romney about wealth, Bain capital, Mormonism, whatever. They're going to beat Santorum up over his deceased child, and his stand on abortion. Ron Paul? They're going to kill him for his apparently "crazy" remarks (9/11 being an inside job, etc.). We know what they are going to do to Gingrich.

The difference is, while everybody knows what the media will throw at them, Gingrich is ready for it and can dish it right back to them. He isn't going to play the fool and try to suck up to them. I think that will count for something with voters. It certainly should among FReepers and conservatives. I for one am tired of our people getting beat up and seemingly not standing up to the media bullies and fighting back. A lot of our candidates still labor under the illusion that they can make the media "like" them if they just play along. That is a fool's game, and we're better off not playing it.
